What to do in Rhyolite when it rains
What to do in Rhyolite on a rainy day? It's important to note that Rhyolite is a ghost town located in the heart of the Nevada desert, where rainfall is extremely rare. Our outdoor escape games are designed to be played outdoors and do not include any routes under arcades or covered passages. In the event of unexpected rain, the experience would be compromised as the majority of the game takes place in the open air. We advise you to check the weather before your visit. If rain were to occur, a visit to the nearby Goldwell Open Air Museum could offer a different artistic perspective, but the main activity would remain outdoors.
